Overview
About Me
I'm a Mexican filmmaker and script writer. I've always been a big city girl, but I love nature in all its shapes.
I work making documentaries about fair trade brands and organizations.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm trying to find my own adventure in everything I do... For me traveling is crossing the threshold to the amazing unknown... I'm interested in meeting people to get to know other ways to find solutions, to understand the world from other perspectives.
Interests
I love writing and everything related with storytelling. Obsessed with Joseph Campbell and the Hero's Journey. I like the idea that diverse as we are, we all are humans...
Rock climbing, surfing and mountaineering are my best way to experiment the limits of mind and body. I love trying every outdoor experience that implies a physical challenge.
Now and then I frantazise about opening a tea house to cook vegan cakes and draw some smiles in people's faces as I sometimes do with my family and friends.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music... I may have the most diverse taste you could imagine... From the Nyan Cat song to vintage Hindi sitar records, sixties psychedelic rock, Mexican son Jarocho, folk in any style...
I once read Julio Cortazar's Rayuela and It changed my life.
I love film in all of its kinds. Ultimately I've enjoyed watching good documentaries.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've been cultivating a beautiful relationship for almost twelve years. We met when I was 16 and now I'm 28... We've climbed, traveled, hiked and walked together many kinds of paths... Last year we finished a fiction movie that we made together at Iztaccíhuatl volcano glaciers https://vimeo.com/41687579
